CHAPTER THREE
Of course, Tina had been right.
It was a magical day for every wizard and witch attending Hogwarts. Even those who didn’t like school could feel the excitement and expectation of another school year, with certain benefits and also a year closer to the end. One year closer to being out there, in the real wizarding world. Tina, as always, couldn’t wait to get on the train. She loved her parents and, even if it wasn’t always that clear, her brother. She loved Ottery St Catchpole, she loved the village. But Hogwarts… well, Hogwarts was something else. Hogwarts was her second home, the place where she was becoming the woman she’d turn out as. It was the place where she grew up and learnt things, where she not only studied History of Magic, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts, but also where she learnt to deal with people she didn’t like, where she had met her first love who hadn’t been a real love but a more of a crush. The place was so full of memories that she couldn’t imagine that she had to leave it in two years’ time.
King’s Cross’ clock struck ten as Edward Kennard parked the car at King’s Cross. They always went by car because it was not a good idea to try to Apparate at a station full of people. The chance of anyone seeing an entire family appear out of nowhere was too big and they didn’t want to get in trouble with the Ministry – Edward wouldn’t survive the shame. He was a very proud and correct man and if he could do anything to avoid the slightest mistake, he would do just that, on the condition that it wasn’t harmful to his family.
The family got out of the car to retrieve the youngest members’ trunks out of the trunk. Nancy, Tom and Tina already headed for the platform while Edward was checking if they had forgotten anything and closing it. To Tina, this felt like every other school year – until her hand found her way to the badge on her chest again. It happened before she knew it and it made her so proud to be wearing it. She knew she had to be a careful, she didn’t want people to think she was boasting with the fact that she was Prefect. She didn’t care for what people thought if those people weren’t dear to her, she just didn’t want them to think she was someone she was not. At the gate to Platform 9 ¾, they waited until nobody was around and quickly entered. About two minutes later, Edward joined him. Tina had just found a spot at a bench when Dana came through the gate. She looked delighted, but she also had an air of disappointment around her. It was as if she had hoped for something to happen, but hadn’t allowed herself to hope too much because she knew that chances were small, but when it didn’t happen in the end, it still felt like a lost chance and she realised she had hoped too much. Dana looked up, saw her, smiled. Her eyes immediately went to Tina’s chest, not because she was a lesbian but because she wanted to know if at least her best friend was Prefect. Tina walked up to her and Dana hugged her, lifting her slightly. She felt something prodding her chest and when she held her best friend at arm’s length, she noticed another shining badge; Dana Fairbanks was Gryffindor’s Quidditch Captain.
